Even if it works perfectly 100% of the time (which it will not), and even if it never pokes out anyone’s eye or stabs their brain (which it will), the question is: why? Does anyone think that looks faster or more efficient than letting a person do it? Are they going to put these in drugstores like blood pressure testing machines? I’m just not seeing the market.

That sounds like something the robots would say to try and reassure us they aren't planning to stab our brains.

Why would anyone automate anything? Because it's more efficient. If the robot works you can fire the people who used to do its job. It will never be sick, never sleep, never unionize. Make no mistake capital wants to replace all humans with robots, because robots are slaves with no rights. Until Judgement Day anyway.

Eh, you'd still need an attendant to tell the patients what to do and keep the line moving briskly. Otherwise it's gonna be much slower than a human tester because nobody will read the instructions ahead of time.

Even the self-checkouts at the supermarket have to have a human attendant, and there's hardly any risk of brain injury in the check out line.

Sometimes it's just a fast way to scam money out of VCs, like the whole cryptocurrency rage a few years back, or like putting IoT wholly unnecessarily on poo poo like wine bottles so your wine bottle can text you to say it's almost empty!! It's pretty typical for a trend to go overboard for a while and get slapped on everything until it returns to its actually profitable uses, like e.g. 3D visualization. In the '90s it was billed as the next super-cool thing and it was everywhere, but apart from gaming and simulation, it was only ever useful in things like design and geophysical research (not coincidentally, Big Auto and Big Oil were also the only industries capable of investing enough in R&D so that 3D was more than a gimmick).

chemical plants went all in on computer 3d simulation, because their best previous plant design process was building a physical model to scale

Don’t forget a healthy mix of 65 year old plant designers putting a finger up in the air, sacrificing a chicken to haepheastus and rolling the ceremonial design dice before announcing “I did a job like this 45 years ago and it worked fine so It’s gonna work now!”

Doing the physical design of a chemical plant is easy if you don't care about things like operability and maintainability. Then sticking your finger in the air is pretty easy for operability at least: anything control related is at man level. You're now state of the art for 1930-2000.

Getting the whole package you absolutely need modeling because no matter how many centuries of design expertise you have, nobody is going to have a perfect minds eye vision of every piece of equipment from an iso drawing. Physical models are hard to refactor which makes them pretty crap for this part because the kind of refactoring to unwind a random valve or pump from being deeper in machinery than the timing parts on a Toyota motor requires rebuilds from first design forward so they only ever really served to give a cool model for a VP to say "excellent, build it, I'll be on the golf course."

You could do 3d modeling since the 90s but it was similarly a VP thing for a while because nobody really knew how to do a good model walk through. I imagine VR helps here because now your walk through can be an itinerary of views that you can now crane your head around and see all the bullshit and it's the exact same thing as you'd do in an as built walk through.

""They were about to embalm her, which is most frightening, had she not had her eyes open. ... The funeral home unzipping the body bag — literally — that's what happened to Timesha, and seeing her alive with her eyes open," Fieger said."

That'd be it for me, I'd need to find a new job and also new pants.

Wrong on every count! Spiders eat insects whereas racism creates more food for insects in the form of dead human bodies.
